This center has no interest in healing type 2 diabetes. It gives no options for healthy eating. It suggests artificial sweeteners like Splenda and artificial foods like margarine, and a high carb diet. It is sponsored by Merck, the makers of insulin and metformin. The dietitians have gone as far as suggesting that a whole food, low carb or ketogenic diet, with high natural health fat is unhealthy. Even going further and saying that though you will lose weight and lower blood sugars, you are at cardiac risk, even though it is well publicized that cholesterol and good fats is not the culprit of heart disease. (And blaming "the internet" when people come in with information of a healthy whole food diet, claiming "there is a lot of bad information on the internet".) (Many of) the dietitians are overweight, with hair loss and obvious insulin resistance and poor health. They openly suggest simple carbs and desserts with high carbs and sugar. They openly say that a cure is "unlikely", even though proven to be possible. There is no option of a low carb, healthy fat, natural food diet. The information offered and the support given has no interest in a cure. They are treating a disease caused by food with continued bad choices and medication. They suggest in the workbook things like, if you can not eat, your body "requires" (ingested) carbohydrates (false. Your body can convert protein and fats to glucose), and fruit juice, sugar soda and sports drink is suggested. If you want a CURE, find a facility like Vista/Dr Sara Hallburg. https://youtu.be/da1vvigy5tQ read more
